Somewhere far away

While S is home before the start of her last semester, she has to get checked by the dentist, the eye doctor and the medical doctor so that the Peace Corps will know how healthy she is before assigning a definite post.

With a greedy thirst for knowledge and a certain zeal for vicarious living, I am following blogs by current volunteers in her potential countries.

I thought for a minute S might be coming here. The question about being able to tolerate altitude nixed it though. Our highest peak is thirteen feet above sea level. If she wants to stay Stateside, we fit all the other criteria.

Hi, My name is

and I live in a small town in the mountains of western Maine. My stories are about all that is around me--family and nature and mountains and hiking and books and food and anything else that catches my fancy. Welcome.
